I use Faronics deepfreeze and I can use Codework Browse control to remotely boot the class room pc's. But is there any way of getting a pc to auto logon as local admin on bootup, so saving me the job of typing on each machine. We have 2000 on the server and xp on the workstations..

Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
and add the following if they don't exist:

DefaultUserName REG_SZ
DefaultPassword REG_SZ
AutoAdminLogon REG_SZ 1
ForceAutoLogon REG_SZ 1

Obviously replacing and .

I've just tested this on Windows 2003 and it works fine, can't see why it shouldn't work with 2000.

If you need to log on as another user, hold down the shift key when logging off.
